Tekin RS ESC sensored
02-13-2010, 09:19 AM
I'd start by stretching out your start and stop rpm, instead of 8000 end, I would try around 25000. You're bringing in a lot of timing, in a small rpm window.

i have a friend racing today who had the small capacitor on the tekin rs speedo break off and it can't be repaired.
if he runs without the cap will it damage the speedo?
will another brand of speedo capacitor work in a pinch? ie. the novak one?
he is racing in the final leg of a series and needs help bad. any help is appreciated thanks!

DO NOT RUN THE SPEEDO WITHOUT THE CAPACITOR!!!

So would the novak cap work in place of the stock one?

Here is my settings from yesterday:
Track is about 30m x 20m, with straight of about 25m long
T2008: Gear 84/21, FDR = 7.6
Motor: Team Powers 11.5R, fixed endbell
Esc:
Drag:20
Brake:100
Profile:3
Boost: 50
Turbo: 5
Delay: 0
Ramp: 2
Start:5,xxx
End:20,000
The car is super fast, can keep up with my friend's T2009 with 5.5 + tc spec. The acceleration can be a little better. However, the motor temp after my run is about 70C, which worries me a little. My friend's 5.5 is only 35C at most. Outside temp last night was only 15C.
I only tried several runs with this setting, since the motor temp is quite high. I could have changed the turbo delay to come in later and change the start/end rpm as this should lower the temp. But I didnt bring my hotwire, so I could not make that adjustment.
I later switched to dual mode and ran 7.5R, this has similar speed to the sensored mode + 11.5. However the 7.5R temp was only 30C.

my motor was 90 degrees after an 8 minuite run
only run for 6 mins with stock motors otherwise they get hotter and hotter till they die ( trust me i know)

Gear 7,9FDR
Turbo 10
Turbo delay 0.
Turbo ramp 3
Boost 45
Throttle profile 5
The motor temp will be a bit higher but don't worry.
It can handle more.
Whit this setup your temp will be higher but as it worries you, set the Turbo ramp lower.
80C is not a problem.

I need some more help trying to figure out the clogging on my RS Pro, tried different motors, different sensor wires, I cant figure it out. It does it from a stop, 3 leds are lit up on the esc and the motor making terrible terrible noises, I have tried rolling the car while its doing it and watching the leds, but 3 leds stay lit the whole time while it is doing it. Once it takes off it runs great until it stops or you brake then 50% of the time it will not go again and just makes terrible noises until it decides to go again.

hey guy looking for a setup for a 30 by 60 track it small very small no striaght,, i have a 12.. with a staring spur at 84 and a nemisis.. what timing.. speedo profiles and gearing would u suggest

breaks??
hi guys,
having a little troubles with my RS esc. i am running a 13.5T x11 gearing is roughly 1:7. its a medium long track. which has a long straigt and at the end of course a strong breaking point.
esc settings are roughly:
rpm: 5000-18000
timing: 50
turbo: 10
ramp: 2
fdr: 1:7
break strenght: 100%
no heat troubles.
anyhow, i re-calibrated the esc and the transmitter lots of times. also tryed the epa settings set to 90 and then calibrating again. in any case the brakes are not there. i hit full breaks and only after roughly 2 sec. the full breaks lock in. until then the car only breaks very very slowly. however, i tried setting my dragbrakes up. so gave the esc approx. 70% drag brake. drage brakes operates normal and well. so the thing is, i have more drage brake power than full power braking.
can anyone help me out here? i read about re-calibrating but tried that 12 times now with several different settings. any other issue i might be missing??
cheers

what would theoretically happen if you ran with out a cap? Because I ran a full race day with no cap. It was 17.5 1s, but still. I'm guessing over heat? Mine didn't show more than 1 led like normal.
